Professor Quadri's ghost

Pretty sure I already disavowed the Muslim brotherhood when I was still a federal employee. Don’t need to do it again.

GOP musings: Hey let’s see how low we can go…a sex offender preacher! With two prison sentences for crimes against kids! Its perfect! Convicted sex offender offered opening prayer at rally for GOP Senate nominee in North Carolina apnews.com/article/what...

Lifting oil sanctions on adversaries Iran and Russia to lower energy prices. Does anyone else think this is maximum absurdity? So much winning. This administration’s incompetence is breathtaking.

92,000 jobs LOST last month?? Make American Unemployed Again? And screw workers with annuities invested in the markets while you’re at it.

Do not let them lull you into compromise. Getting rid of Bovino isn't enough. Getting rid of problem agents isn't enough. Getting rid of ICE isn't enough. Keep fighting. Lives will continue to depend on it.

VP Vance: ICE agent has absolute immunity. Because he was doing federal law enforcement stuff. Nope. BS. No way. Complete lie. Think about what that would mean across the country for all federal law enforcement activities. That’s where Trump, Vance, Miller & Co. want this to go.

That Trump speech was something… not quite sure what, but something. Lunacy, horseshit, disinformation, rant, detached… we need a new vocabulary for this level of wackiness and lying.

How are those MAGA tariffs working out for farmers these days? If only we had a big foreign assistance program that could absorb some of the commodities…

This is not only unconstitutional but also a colossal waste of resources. #1984

No Kings on Oct 18 is going to be the largest peaceful protest in American history. The only way to protect our freedom of speech is to exercise our freedom of speech. Get to planning in your community asap. nokings.org

People are constantly asking me — what can I do? Between now and the 2026 midterm elections, here are five practical steps you can take to make a difference.

There is no bottom. Everything lays groundwork for further descent into fascism unless people stand up non-violently in opposition and resistance. This is true in DC, LA and everywhere Trump’s MAGA crime gang operates.

Do you know how insane and infuriating it is to live in a country where one party claims, with media and public support, the mantle of being the ‘tough on crime’ party while its leader openly calls for convicted criminals to be released from prison ‘or else’?

Donald Trump has announced a press conference that will pretend to address a *fictional* rise in crime in Washington DC. In reality, it is just a big barrel of bullshit that will be used as a pretext for an authoritarian takeover of the city.

It’s time to wake up - we are literally on the verge of losing our democracy if Donald Trump cheats his way to those seats in Texas.

This is a really important point. Most Medicaid recipients likely have NO idea that they’re about to lose their coverage.

Today has been a milestone day in US politics, in the worst way. Awful bill passed in the Senate, end of Voice of America and USAID, opening of a concentration camp, it all sucks. No one should continue to think courts will save us. Next rung down could be an “emergency” to permit canceling midterms

I have the strangest desire this evening to see the Trump sons and daughters in uniform and deployed to the Middle East.

The United States should not wage war against Iran. Donald Trump’s bombing of Iran is unconstitutional. Only Congress can declare war — and the Senate must vote immediately to prevent an another endless war. This is a horrific war of choice.

I don't think we're in a democracy anymore. Unmarked secret police kidnapping people off the street? A dictator mobilizing the military against civilians? Defying court orders? Ignoring due process? Arresting political opponents? Democracy has left the building. We CAN & MUST get it back, though.

Well played, sir. #NoKingsDay

With the tragic assassination of a Minnesota Democratic leader, I’m going to underline this point again.

Voter suppression: Gummint employee: Boss, since admin leave to vote is revoked, can I take regular leave for it? Trumpian boss: nope, sorry, we need you here Employee: if only there were another way, like vote by mail Trumpian Boss: F*ck that! Dontcha know that leads to voter fraud?

Good riddance to Elon Musk. You’ve done enough damage and more. Sorry not sorry that we hate you in DC. If you wanted a friend in Washington, you should have gotten a dog.

Folks need to write to Congress now about this!

👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼🧵 Republicans hate the most vulnerable in our society

Any politician or pundit telling us to stop advocating for due process for the men in CECOT because it's not "politically expedient" needs to go,

I don’t think people are paying enough attention to the fact that the North Carolina court of appeals just ruled that 65,000 votes don’t count, and that the Republican Supreme Court candidate who lost actually won. This will be appealed, but make no mistake: they’re trying to steal this election.

FOUR of these will be circling Washington DC tomorrow for 12 hours promoting our Heritage Foundation protest! Hope you’ll join the flood #wearetheflood

I have tariffed the penguins that are on Heard Island and which you were probably assuming did not export goods forgive me they were taking advantage of us so cunning and so cold

So, wait, was crashing the global economy in Project 2025, too?

Bravo for these students at Georgetown Law Center!

So while I was minding my own business today apparently Hegseth was careless with classified. Important stuff. Am I shocked? Not at all, we all knew he was unfit for the job and probably picked for that reason. And that he’s a Christian Naz - I mean Nationalist

The fascism we are experiencing is an EMERGENCY. It needs to be responded to with lightening speed. The courts are helping, but lightening speed is not their thing. They weren't designed for that. So we all need to do more to respond. Get angry. Get organized. Get creative. Get vocal.

Schoolchildren are routinely slaughtered by AR-15s. Hundreds die. [*crickets* "Thoughts and prayers" *crickets*] A couple unoccupied cars are set on fire. No one is hurt. ["THIS HORROR WILL NOT STAND!!! We MUST act to STOP it from ever happening AGAIN!!!!" We will pass new LAWS BANNING IT!!!]

More of this please Mayor Wu’s speech is inspiring

I've quoted this passage from Trump -- where he states his intent to cause riots and US economic collapse -- so many times. He flat-out announced it on Fox News in February 2014. In my book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT I quote my own 2016 essay warning of his plan: www.hidinginplainsightbook.com

Only a matter of time now until tesla becomes a verb. The public will decide what it means in a natural way, something like to drop in share value, suffer irreparable brand damage, become a target. “That company teslaed” or “people teslaed that company”

This is going to be a long four years. My wish for today is that my elderly family members live to see the end of it

DOGE broke into the U.S. Institute of Peace headquarters in Northwest D.C. Monday evening, the independent nonprofit’s CEO said.

Awful things going on in academia… admissions rescinded, texts screened for inadmissible terms, etc. 🧵 👇🏼 this needs to be widely known
